Flaugergues (Mars)

Named after Honore Flaugergues - French astronomer (1755-1835).

Flaugergues Crater is a crater in the Sinus Sabaeus quadrangle on Mars at 17° south latitude and 340.8° west longitude. Impact craters generally have a rim with ejecta around them, in contrast volcanic craters usually do not have a rim or ejecta deposits. As craters get larger they usually have a central peak.

A crater is a circular depression likely created by an impact event. On Mars large craters are named after deceased scientists, writers and others who have contributed to the lore of Mars. Small creaters (less than 60km) are named after small towns and villages.
